Check understanding

Give at least one example of energy transfer by each: sound, light, heat, electric current
Explain that energy moves from a source to a destination through these means
Describe how electric currents transfer energy from a battery to a bulb through wires

“Can your child give examples of how energy moves around — like heat from a radiator warming a room, light from a lamp reaching your eyes, or electricity flowing through a wire?”
